Ibro Šabanović making an oval dish (pršulja). He places four small pieces of wet of clay and then a wooden block upon them. He clears it of dry clay. He takes a big lump of clay and sprinkles separating powder on it. After flattening it he uses his tools to get rid of excess clay and make an oval with pinched raised walls. He then flattens the base, and started adding clay to the walls to raise the height of the dish. After flattening it by hand, he uses a tool with a nail to take extra clay off and straightens the top. Then he adds two handles and decorations on the rim.
